Bob Donahoe
Large firm experience, small firm rates and demonstrated success have motivated technology leaders such as Covidien (acquired by Medtronic); Matrox; Novartis; and Philips to seek founder, Bob Donahoe’s, representation: in worldwide patent matters for two medical-device business units; handling their most challenging video and graphics patent applications; enterprise software license negotiations; and securing protection for smart LED lighting technology, respectively. Today, Bob continues to apply those same skills for a variety of companies who share his passion for disruptive innovation.
Bob’s personal experience as a builder includes leading teams that successfully developed and brought to market hardware and software products used to improve sports performance - including creating a paid mobile sports app ranked #2 on the App Store and Google Play.
Bob received his Bachelor of Science in electrical engineering from Northeastern University and his Juris Doctorate from Boston College School of Law.
